I would like to know what is the proper dosage for taking ivermectin in plain mg. and lbs. not kg.for nor. scabies and does it kill eggs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ivermectin: Dose is 0.2mg/kg. Average weight of an adult is 70 kg, which is 14mg. There are 2.2 lb per kg. Scabies don't usually leave eggs, so the Ivermectin will kill the bugs.
